Watching season 4 of Rebels as a seasoned Star Wars animation viewer: “Aww we’re getting so many Kanan and Hera moments yay cutesy mom and dad it’s about ti…..oh no. Oh no no no. Take them back now I don’t want them”

Its you

Thinks about how. Gloreth only starts looking at Nimona differently/strangely when her parents call her a "monster". Just throws that label with such a negative connotation on her. Gloreth fucking fights for Nimona immediately in the beginning saying that she's her friend and never once looks at her with ridicule until her mom just holds her by the shoulders and tells her she's a monster, straight in the eye, straight in the face. And just the word is enough to cause the change.

Nimona's getting fucking attacked and prodded and Gloreth doesn't even feel sorry for her just because she's now re-contextualizing everything around her but with that word. I'm so sick. She looks not in hesitance but at disbelief before she runs away. She sees Nimona trying to defend herself from literal Danger in any way she can (she's just a kid and she's fighting with people who won't listen, never will, people that she can't get through) but just sees that as more proof of her being violent, monstrous. She sees her friend all alone, with the odds and the world stacked against her despite them being. so similar but just tells her to go back to the shadows.

And like. Of course she believes those words calling Nimona a monster and takes them to heart. Her parents, the ones she would probably trust most are the ones that told her that. And she's young, she doesn't know much about the world or much better. And of course, her parents and the whole village don't know any better. They didn't see what she saw. They don't know or feel the need to know much more than the definition of the word "monster". But it hurts. God it hurts. It's wrong. It's not fair. It's really not fair.

And it causes this whole legend that will stay with Nimona to ridicule her for generations and generations and birth this system that she's trapped by and causes everyone to be so brainwashed. The one that makes people scared and build walls. That births unecessary distrust.

God. Even in the scroll illustrating Nimona and Gloreth, Nimona is portrayed as such a bigger and scarier threat than she ever could be or would be, until Nimona internalized and gave into those images and despair of course. It's not fucking fair.

Thinking about how when the villagers saw Nimona as a "normal" person they were happy for her just living her life and playing with her friend, she was just another kid being happy like she and every ("normal", apparently) person deserves to be, and they were allowing her to be happy then when they find out what she really is they hate her. They call her a monster and drive her out immediately. They don't look into the details that contradict the stigma, they just feel betrayal when they weren't even the ones who were betrayed (Nimona couldn't fucking help being who or what she was. And she was her own person. She was still. A someone. Why do things have to be different now?). I'm so sickkk.

Thinks about how Nimona feels so hopeless as to just. Accept and yield to that label. That label that was passed down to Gloreth. To the whole world. Such simple but awful words. Aughhhhhhhhhhh

Another post I saw talks about how this is a movie about how hate is taught. And oh my god it is. Hate it taught. It's done so simply yet so, painfully effectively. So devastatingly. And that hate teaches people to hate the world back. God I fucking loooove this movie

Also Nimona's such a Creature /pos /affectionate she's so relatable I fucking love her and I'm insane okay that's the post bye

a little life is the book where you feel absolutely drained and empty after finishing a section and will need some time to recover and to build up courage before continuing

The problem about Mav having been a take everywhere kind of dog is that I can deeply feel his absence no matter what I'm doing or where I am.

and I'm having thoughts again

so I've been watching that John Larroquette interview that I reblogged on repeat for half an hour now and I'm just. man I am so very....... okay I'm trying not to say that I'm stupid anymore but god what else is there to say. it's making me feel like my brain just turns off and all there is is static and [insert very high frequency screaming sound].

like I would love to be able to have actual thoughts about this shit but I am not. I just love love love people who think about shit and face their issues and work on getting better. and talk about it. like it's just a thing that happened. because it is. it's not 'oh you did bad shit in your past so you're fucked forever now'. it's 'bad shit happened, I did bad things, I confronted it, I made different choices' and that's it. I just. man I'm feeling really emotional and am probably gonna have a good long cry about this now.

hey i havent seen anyone share this take b4 so here is me dumping out my religious trauma (stay with me here it's very thought-provoking)

ty and scar's dad: the infamous jericho jones. that's a very interesting first name choice on the part of the writers! because in the bible, the story of jericho goes something like this.

the city of jericho was put under siege by the israelites. but before this siege, they sent spies into the city. the spies were almost discovered, but saved by a woman. in thanks, they told her to hang a red cord out of her window. when they brought down the city, they would spare her and her family. after the week-long siege, the city walls fell and the israelites killed everyone but the woman and her family, and she was brought into their people.

and something about this parallel really strikes me as being very, very powerful. jericho jones went into syldra expecting a battle. he came out with a syldrathi lover (technically without her, but who's counting?) and two half-syldrathi children. he chose to fight for peace because of her love. more than that - i like to think he chose to spare her because he loved her.

am i stretching the realm of possibility in metaphor? maybe. but i also don't think that the writers would have picked a name as unique as "jericho" without understanding the religious connotations that go along with it.

i hope that they see each other again in the stars.

have you ever felt bad because you wanted something and you had no money so you asked for your parents to buy it for you but it made you so guilty and when they told you that they cannot get it because it just too high in price so you just wanted to throw yourself off of somewhere because you feel worthless and so fucking broke that you had to ask from them to get something you want—

was it ever hard for you to ask for money from your parents?

“If you ever find yourself in danger, go to Bruce Wayne. He will help you.”

His mother had loved him, in her own way. If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have helped him escape. If she hadn’t, she would have dragged him back to the League of Assassins, to Grandfather. If she hadn’t, he’d be dead.

She loved him, but she loved the League more.

Jack and Maddie Fenton loved him too, they did, but they loved their work more.

They loved their work more.

After his parents react poorly to his reveal, Danny escapes to the only person he thinks can help him - Bruce Wayne. He doesn't know what to expect when he gets there, but it has to be better than where he is, surely? He certainly doesn't expect to be reunited with his long lost twin brother Damian. It's funny how things work out that way.

Danny is 16 years old, not Phantom Planet compliant

theyre back ...... ...... in mu inbox 😞😞

Classic “Lucifer breaks out of the cage to defeat Metatron” au but with actual attention paid to how devastated Lucifer would be at the mass murder of his little siblings, especially by each other

Hmm (sadly)

looool the world is so small and brief encounters are funny--as in I froze for a moment from the shock and then, when I was out of sight, laughed hysterically because I hadn't expected it

serious question. i have looked around the internet to no avail... how do you dispose of a sex toy you no longer use?

can't wait for my queen of meta @magpie-trove to watch Tenet and start talking about themes so that I can actually understand the themes

Please say a prayer for me and my boy cat, I'm still waiting for him to come back. 🧡🐈He's my best friend.
